Sunday Funerals.

A strong effort is being made in In
diana by the ministers, undertakers and
others to abolish Sunday funerals.
Their reasons are as follows: "They
are as rule uucalled for. They are q
serious task upon the officiating minister
in view of his other public duties on the
Sabbath. They result in altogether de-
priving large force Of mel. OF the priv
ieges Of the Sabbath. They are the
qualification of q false taste which
seeks to make the funeral occasion. one
OF as much publicity and display as pos
sible." We think the Indianapolis min
listers are about right IN the matter.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE following
letter has created quite a sensation among
the "Anglo-maniacs" in this city Andrew
Carnegie having been requested TO attend
the preliminary meetings and at later
date to contribute to funds for the proposed
celebration of the Queens jubilee in New
York, addressed the following reply to the
treasurer of the fund:
"MY DEAR SR:-There are several good
reasons why l cannot subscribe or even
sympathize with the proposed jubilee.
First, l am an American citizen, very
staunch Republican American, who rejects
the monarchical idea as inconsistent
with and insulting to his manhood. l
should stultify myself were l to GEL
ebrate the reign Of any hereditary ruler.
l was born as free as Cesar
Second-l am at loss to see what natur-
allied American citizens have to do with
celebrating the reign of any sovereign mon
arch. II they are not loyal Republicans and
true to the land of their adoption it is open
to them at all times 10 leave its shores and
find homes elsewhere. The republic de-
serves to be served by citizens true to the
fundamental idea upon which her political
institutions are based. infer that this view
is shared by the most distinguished of these
gentlemen Of New York, who, like myself,
were born subjects of monarchy, for l OBJ
serve with satisfaction that your committee
has been compelled to select a Canadian
as president, and also as chief orator, DO h
eminent and justly honored men, but
still quite foreign to New York and to
America
A New York demonstration, presided
| over and also addressed by imported Cana
dians will be quite unique in its way, but
in no sense will it represent New York.
rojoice that no New York men of position
could be found who could so far forget
themselves as to appear upon republican
soil as eulogists of monarchy.
To such of my fellow countrymen as see
proper to enjoy the blessings of residence
in America and yet remain aliens,
venture to suggest that the canons of
good taste, not less than gratitude TO the
republic to whose hospitality they are in
Iebted for so many favors, should lead
them to hesitate before parading and fore
ing upon the knowledge OF their, perhaps,
too generous host that their first allegiance
is to a foreign ruler and their preference
for political institutions vitality opposed to
those of this land in which they dwell and
prosper.
In conclusion, my dear Patton, II our fel-
low countrymen must celebrate something
let me suggest that the proper day for polit-
ical demonstration in New York Is the
Fourth of July, and on that day let them
| pray that the day is not far distant when
our less favored countrymen at home shall
share with us the blessings OF institutions
founded upon the political equality of ci.i.
zens, a day when hereditary privileges will
be unknown, when the government of the
people by the people and for the people will
be the watchword Of English speaking men
throughout the world. Sincerely yours
truly, ANDREW CARNEGIE.

ACCIDENT on THE RIO GRANDE.

Passengers Injured.

Ono Lady Killed and Number of
Passengers Injured.
A Especial to the Denver Republican
gives the following particulars of the acci-
dent which took place on the d. & r. G.
road on the 18th:
The accident upon the Leadville express
happened at IS a. m, one mile west of
yallie. The train was one and half hours
late at the time of the accident, and was
making about thirty miles per hour. The
Pullman left the track Just forty feet back
from where It turned over, but did not dis
place the rails. Among the Denver passen-
gers aboard were Drs. Dennison and Cox,R.
A. Gurley, v. b. Kemp and wife, Judge NJ.
Benedict OF Denver. DR.. Dennisonl sus-
tanned slight sprain of his left wrist; DR..
Cox had his scalp and face cut, but not SER
iously; X. A. Gurley, slight wounds on
hands and feet.
Beyond these Pullman Conductor Aubery
was seriously wounded, and 1t is feared
that his spine is injured, lie was taken TO
the hospital at Salida.
The Castleton Company boarded the
train at Pueblo, and the sleeper, being very
crowded, many doubled up for accommoda-
tlOH. uIbCt lSSblle anu MlcS eHplll, tIt
latter relative of Governor Gilpin, occu-
pied lower berth No. s. As the car was
careening Miss Leslie exclaimed: "Oh,m
God |" and these were her last words. Miss
Gilpin escaped uninjured. Miss Leslie was
first discovered by Mr.. X. A. Gurley pinned
in under the wreck in such a manner that
he was unable to ext-icate her. A call for
immediate help was made. hut 1t was too
late to be of avail and she breathed her last
Just as willing hands had extricated her
from the wreck.
DIR. Charles Dennison was hemmed in the
smoking-room ten minutes before help
could get to him, and here also was Pull
man.C Conductor Aubrey. The last two per-
sons to leave the car were Miss Freuhoff Of
Leadville and MIR. Gurley. They were for
long time unable to find any garment be-
longing to them, and not until general
overhauling took place was the necessary
clothing discovered.
All the passengers controlled themselves
and behaved admirably. Had the car turned
to the left instead Of to the right, undoubt-
edly the loss Of life would have been ap-
palllng, as 1t would have sunk into the Ar
kansas. which Is at high tide.
